Speaker 1: It's coming back.
Speaker 2: It wants the whole world to know. Also, shut upright in.
Speaker 3: I've got to start the game.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I told you to shut up. I didn't
mean to to say, putting that I thought would do.
Speaker 1: It's mean.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what. Didn't mean it to be mean
to you. I thought it was gonna be funny. Then
I said shut up, Braiden, and I felt bad.
Speaker 4: Oh it's okay, I forgive you.
Speaker 2: Shut up, Braiden.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that my place.
Speaker 2: Yep, thank you, hey everybody, and welcome back to that
nineteen it is. We are back with Gilligan's gravetail soumnist.
I'm gonna session fifty nine. Where did there back? We
killed the big bad he's gone. The story's over. Surely
we should have just stopped.
Speaker 4: Where does that come from?
Speaker 1: That's your high pitched.
Speaker 5: Okay, like that?
Speaker 2: I got that.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 6: Play with the boys lab by.
Speaker 7: Okay, we need to.
Speaker 4: Okay, campaign.
Speaker 8: Oh fucking Penis is dead long live interrupting as shrimp.
Speaker 2: Alrighty oh. People used to we're up the start of
every session by yelling Penis. I'd be trying to get
the game going, and everybody would scream penis at me.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this group hasn't done it for a long time.
It's been nice. I can welcome back to really good grave.
We're not shrimp put that in quotes. Chat. We don't
really have anything to announce today apart from a couple
announcements related to the kickstarters and the backer kits. The
kickstarter announcements are that printing is within sight. We are
hopefully going to get the last of the products done.
We have sorted out all of our tariff issues as
far as we can tell. We're going to get our
print orders out. We're hoping at the start of next
what near the start of next month, and then everyone
should get a big old update on the books and whatnot.
Fucking goddamn Finally, Zagaltas still needs to be completed, but
it is like six art pieces away from being done,
apart from a bunch of page filler stuff. So that's
cool that book's almost done. Then once that's done, that's
basically going to immediately go out as well. So we're
on the edge of a whole lot of stuff getting
sent out for the backer kits though. Okay, so for Zagaltas,
everybody who is backing Zagalta on Kickstarter. Orders are going
to lock in two days, so if you're seeing this
on YouTube, it already happened like three days ago, but
orders are going to lock in two days on Monday
the twelve, So make sure that you go in check
your add ons and whatnot because once they're locked, we're
gonna charge for tariff's taxes and add ons, so make
sure you go check all your stuff for the Backer Kit.
For the Backer Kit, the surveys are going to be
sent out in roughly two days. We just need to
get the color sketches for the cover to the color
and the alt cover of the book ready to go,
and then we'll send those out so people can pick
between them. Those pledge managers are probably going to be
sent out on Monday as well, so keep an eye
out for those Backer Kit backers. Heck, and that one
will also move along very quickly. The compendiums in design
files already been laid out. It is about two hundred
and ninety ish pages in total with all the extra
added content. You'll also you don't know if what's said
already about how the plus he's looking not my department,
I don't know. I think we're still in revision with
the actual design, I believe. Yeah, that's correct, right.
Speaker 9: I do know that there was an issue where they
were getting some stuff wrong, so we got one proof back.
Speaker 7: We've sent them back for revision.
Speaker 9: Once those revisions are fixed and it's adequate to where
both reasonably they can accomplish and it makes it satisfied,
then we'll get that cutie fox shipped out to everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a reminder that the shipping and production of
that BA Sickly is going to happen independent of us.
We're gonna Yes, we.
Speaker 9: Don't really know what they're doing other than when we've
given them the thumbs out.
Speaker 2: We once we approve the final product, that's basically the
end of our involvement with that. So we'll let you
guys know once that's definitely happening, and Hayden will give
us some Yeah, Hayden will let us know the timeline
on that once we know it. But right now we're
just nailing down the design. That is what we're doing
with that I and then after that it's it's a mystery.
Then it's up to make ship and it's up to them.
But yeah, so those are all the updates on the stuff.
Huh maship now make merch pop. I don't know things?
See how much I don't know things? That's it's so
not my department the merchant They merch pop. What does
makeshift do?
Speaker 6: But mer pop is another.
Speaker 2: Was at least I was at least in the same
category there. Yeah, whoops. Nerdy gross Yes, the Nerdy Grosses
is still happening. We'll have more specific details on that
next time and later, same announcement that it's been in
that case. Uh, but opening up the floor anybody else
any other announcements?
Speaker 7: No, No, not really.
Speaker 2: Great energy to come out of.
Speaker 1: No use a new.
Speaker 9: Spooky video on my channel where it's definitely really scary
and not dumb as well.
Speaker 2: Logan, WHI are you putting it on the spot?
Speaker 4: I cherished all.
Speaker 5: Oh, I said I loved you guys before, but you
guys didn't hear me.
Speaker 7: Ain't that just the way?
Speaker 2: Alrighty, let's get this party started. So so so so
so sol so so so so so so so so
so so so so. I'm trying to find a piece
of music. I mean, I'm vamping so so so this one. Oh,
I'm gonna roll a die then a roll a D
four and then one of you is gonna tell me
what happened last time, and it's gonna be a pretty
fucking quick answer. Pepper, what happened last time?
Speaker 5: We were traveling through the mess like caves.
Speaker 4: We saw someone at a distance.
Speaker 5: And we were like, oh, that better not be Ethicus,
and it was Ethicchis. We came over there and we said,
we're gonna kick your ass, and he was like, let
me talk, let me, let me tell you a little son.
We were like, okay, we're still gonna kick your ass,
and then he was like, let me tell.
Speaker 6: You something more.
Speaker 5: And then the horror of loss showed up, and then
we're like, oh, we're definitely gonna kick your ass, and
then we fought epic kiss became a whale.
Speaker 4: We're still got his says it's true here too.
Speaker 2: He Cag, that's true, you guys. CAG showed up. I
was telling Aaron, I'm surprised tags alive. Yeah. I I
given Cag's hit point amount and the what was happening
in the fact that you guys were fighting a spellcaster.
I was fully convinced that Kag was probably not going
to survive last session, but he's alive, He's around. But
so last time, everybody, guys woke up in a messid cavern.
You made your explored, You made your way through it,
up to the surface, to the surface of Agony's throat,
the expansive crystal lake made of messit. The amniotic mists
seemed to part and maneuver around you, guys, held back
by a force that made uh scarn's rib go bablink.
You guys found Ethicus found out that his ultimate goal
was to use the energy here to create his own
micro reality that he could twist and do anything that
he wanted in a great, great, great setting for a
spin off, his own little micro world. You have another
campaign where we're like alternate reality. Ethicus won. It's someone
in that reality doing stuff. It's such a good fucking
decoy sequel, decoy sidequel. But I digress. Fucking how do
we know that everything past this point isn't just a
part of his new reality?
Speaker 1: How do we nw Ethano Ethicus didn't win.
Speaker 2: Welcome to fucking Gilligan's Grave.
Speaker 1: Conformity Gate, m.
Speaker 7: Stupid this in three years and god.
Speaker 1: What the conformity Gate?
Speaker 2: Just for those that watched this in three years and
don't know what fucking conformity Gate is. It's the Stranger
Things thing. That's all the help I'll give you. Go
look it up. You guys defeated Ethicus. He lays on
the ground. The dark ocean he had summoned up around you,
guys whenever you fought him disappears. The body of the
Horror of Loss also seems to have vanished, along with
the dark ocean that Ethicus had manifested the negative energy
given shape that he had created. You guys are left
with the area as it was that despite it being
on the map that red tinge to the crystal having disappeared,
Ethicus's body lays in the center of the large stone
crystal Dais upon which he built his throne, and off
behind him remains the crystal spire, in which the shadowy
figure of a feminine individual remains trapped as though frozen
in ice. Cathos In and cag are both present. Cathos
continues to have this swirling mist like energy that occasionally
wisps around his formerly previously mutated, destroyed arm with that
I uh we we we ended off with the moment
of Ethicus's defeat. Previously We're going to pick up right
back where we left off.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 2: You guys are free to do as you wish, and
I'm gonna hit this button, Spooky, I release you role play.
Speaker 1: He's diod.
Speaker 10: He's really crazy third phase or anything like that. I mean,
I feel like the whale was kind of about pretty final.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're sure he's not not simulac or whatever thing.
Speaker 5: Oh not, this time he would have turned into water sun.
I would have also sniffed that out. That was that
was That was the real deal.
Speaker 11: I killed him again, Raises just checking its dead quick
double tap, he's gone.
Speaker 2: Shoot we did bunch time. It's like when you shoot
somebody in Skyrim and just the body rag dolls just
waiting tomorrow and fills.
Speaker 1: He's gone.
Speaker 5: But I hope that means souls put to rest too
with that thing, Ben.
Speaker 11: Can I investigate in what you said? Crystal with woman inside?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: Yes? So that's off. Like back there, there's a bunch
of crystal spires around here, all made of what you
know to be called mess site. One of them does
appear to have a the figure of a human woman
is suspended about fifteen feet up in it. You notice
when you investigate it. Roll the investigation before it continue.
Just give me that roll, yippy yippie, says the not shrimp.
Speaker 1: Yes, eighteen nice from nineteen.
Speaker 2: As you walk over to it and you take a
look at it, this particular crystal that is off behind
it feels more manufactured. Some of the crystal formations that
are in this place they look like eroded and old,
and like they imagine that happened naturally. You notice around
this throne a lot of the crystal spires and platforms
and whatnot that appear here seem to have been magically manufactured,
and you pretty quickly come to the conclusion Ethicus probably
fashioned this little area for his own use and amusement.
When you look at this one, you get that sense,
especially in that you see that it's a bunch of
different crystals that look like they melted into place. Fifteen
feet up in it, this might be Do I even
have it in the thing? I don't, and I won't ever.
Fifteen feet or so up in it, you see the
body of a human woman. It's difficult to make out
details because messite is not a particularly clear crystal, so
a lot of it's very shadowy. It's like It's a
fairly thick, whitish blue crystal. So looking through it, you
see a woman who appears to be wearing a half
plate armor, seems to be carrying what appears to be
a glave or spear, you can't quite tell. She is suspended,
as though frozen, as though in like just a snap
a snapshot of who she is. It doesn't seem like
he's in a pocket in the crystal. The crystal is
perfectly conforming around her and holding her in place. Whether
she's alive, you wouldn't know, but she is there. And
you also, as you get close to this crystal, because
you did get an eighteen on that, As you get
close to this crystal, unlike the other crystals that are
around here, there's this faint, almost staticy low hum that
you feel as though there's energy vibrating through this particular crystal.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Is the horror of loss still around when the dark
ocean washed away, like it disappeared with it?
Speaker 1: Interesting?
Speaker 7: Okay, Desmond will go join scar.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm kind of just over there, like hands on
fucking hips, looking up.
Speaker 7: Just like, look at this.
Speaker 1: You're saying this over here? What's going on in us?
You feel that electric shot.
Speaker 2: Yuy, I's just here, distant, just from like twenty feet away.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 4: Shut up, just come over here.
Speaker 7: Thanks for the help.
Speaker 2: I was only securing my own interests.
Speaker 4: Oh, he wanted to be so bad.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy you're interested in me.
Speaker 2: Whenever all of you destroyed the temples, you removed two
of the contenders who were controlling this place. That left
only two other people who were influencing Agony's throat. All
of them was Ethicus and the other. He looks up
toward the crystal, toward the woman that is suspended inside
of it.
Speaker 7: Do I recognize them? I imagine I do you? I
can't say.
Speaker 2: Looking at it, i'd say pretty quickly you would have
only seen them around in general. But given their that
your general memory for people, and their past resemblance to Lawrence,
you can pretty quickly tell that this is the body
of Mave. This is uh, this is Lawrence's mother.
Speaker 9: You've been hiding pretty good, but we found you.
Speaker 2: You were looking for this woman.
Speaker 7: Here's the kids. Mom.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good.
Speaker 4: Who why? I mean?
Speaker 5: We knew she was sick with something, but I don't
I don't get it.
Speaker 10: I thought wasn't she buried in the yard.
Speaker 7: She died in his backyard and was taken Yeah, oh yeah,
mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: Given her current situation, I doubt that she was taken.
There have always been two contending forces trying to control
this place as it was built. The temples and the
things that are below the lake contended to keep them
in place. What was below wanted to escape. You remember,
we fought them before those crystal animations and the temples
were put in place to keep them contained. Ethicus bothered
this place. Whenever he came here and tried to seize
control of it, he allowed some of the influence of
what was below to come up. And from what I
recall of the stories that were told that kid's mother
was down here with him when it happened, what escaped
from down below found a home inside of her. I'm
guessing that the reason that they had to put this
extrapolating based on very little information, but I doubt that
they were unburied. I imagine they crawled their way up
through the dirt and tried to come down here to
kill Ethicus, and he probably put them in here because
by doing this he could use this woman's body as
a sort of control rod to try to seize control
from what is underneath the lake, or to put it
more simply, she is possessed by everything trying to get.
Speaker 1: Out of here.
Speaker 4: Sh Well, you.
Speaker 5: Bye in theory, were cleric at some point? Can't you
like exercise you know?
Speaker 4: The power?
Speaker 5: The power vest use compels with clergy.
Speaker 3: I am a cleric, but are you clergy?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 1: In a sense?
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't go I don't go to church, if.
Speaker 1: That's what you're saying.
Speaker 2: I am a I am a Vestian advocate, although I
don't talk to many others of my kind. And to
answer your question, Pepper, no, it's well beyond my power
to excise what's inside of her.
Speaker 5: We are so close being able to give Laurence something.
Speaker 2: There's nothing if you did get rid of what's inside
of her. So this woman came back with Lawrence and
then they seem to die.
Speaker 1: Correct the story.
Speaker 7: Himself.
Speaker 2: What was left of their mother was probably being eroded
away by amniusis, by the disease these things carry, and
once their head was completely emptied out, that's when they
moved in in full. That period where she seemed to
be dead was probably the interim period. Hello vessel even
if we did remove it from her.
Speaker 1: There's nothing left of that woman inside now.
Speaker 2: And the only thing now contending with this to keep
this place in check. And he puts his hand up
and you see him create this orb of white light
in his hand. Mists swirl around him performatively.
Speaker 1: It's me.
Speaker 6: Mmmmm, but.
Speaker 2: It pains me to say this. I am no Ethicus.
He closes his hand and see all of that magic
he was conjuring vanishes.
Speaker 1: I can't keep this place in check right now.
Speaker 2: I can use it right now, I could perform I
don't Nancy, but I couldn't do that what he was doing.
Speaker 7: I'm glad you can't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thanking the gods for that one.
Speaker 4: Huh. He was twisted.
Speaker 1: Well, so you do her.
Speaker 2: Then the body doesn't mean much anymore if it's just
me in this place, if it's what is below contending
with me trying to take control of this place. At
the moment, I'm going to lose that fight. I don't
know how long it will take, but I will. And
then without the temples to keep this place solid, everything
that is below, the source of those creatures that you
had fought before, they're going to all escape. And swarm
to the surface. The uh, the Goliath from this lake,
as that thing at the Shrine of Tomoa called it.
Speaker 9: It's going to be free from here, and we need
to evacuate the town as soon as we can. The
vines should they be gone by.
Speaker 4: Now in theory? Right, I don't know.
Speaker 10: Well, lines, we're a product of neftaria, not efficas.
Speaker 5: Isn't it. Neftaria has been ejected for the tampion, so eerie.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 10: Let me send Let me and my standings down and
talk to papa.
Speaker 6: Ah, what a.
Speaker 7: Great idea, because we.
Speaker 1: Do have that.
Speaker 10: They all yeah, got them, lend them out. But maybe
they've got someone checking. I'll look out to see the
progress of the vines, all right, it's worth checking, alright.
Speaker 12: Uh second, twenty five words, Hi, Papa, we are all okay.
Speaker 6: Looks at Desmond ish.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 7: It's still one word.
Speaker 2: That's that's what four coughs, all right, that's four words.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Imagine that canon if someone who's doing his standing spells
had a coughing fit mid mid thing and they're just like, hey, yeah,
so oh fuck oh wait that can that can feel
the magic movie? That cop fuck notes.
Speaker 10: Due, let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve thirteen. We know that they're fully evacuated. Asking about
the vines? Was there anything else where we were at
we were gonna ask.
Speaker 4: About any signs of anyone else evacuated? Question mark.
Speaker 10: All right of other I'm gonna say refugees for now.
So I've got hi Papa, we're all okay ish. Have
the have the vines gone down at all? Any sign
any signs of other refugee? That's one, two, three, four, five, six, eleven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 6: I've got.
Speaker 10: The seven more words.
Speaker 5: If there aren't people evacuating, they should get in contact
and get people evacuating, just so that you know, we
kind of get out and Tom as well, I don't know.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna just put get as far away from the pits.
Speaker 6: So one, two, three, four, five.
Speaker 10: Six, seven, Uh yeah no there, that's all twenty five. So,
Hi Papa, we're all okay ish. Have the vines gone
down at all? Any signs of other refugees? Get us
far away from the pits?
Speaker 2: You typing that in the six.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, enter and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you send that. As you send that away, you
notice that as you cast that spell, as you can
cast sending, there's a little like eruption of bluish arcane
energy from the crystal below you, as though it's responding
to the magic that you're using. It doesn't cause anything
odd to happen with the spell. You just recognize this
place seems to light up as though reacting to magical energy.
As you send it, you fairly quickly get a message back.
You get as we mentioned before, we're we're trying to
remember what was the last thing you heard of them?
Speaker 10: Anna, The last thing I remember them hearing because she
was asking them to evacuate, that the vines had gone
down and that they were being let out, and it
was by Conglow because Gotham is in Conglo.
Speaker 2: The last thing that so you had already heard about
the fact that they were they went into like the pits,
and they've separated from the town entirely. Okay, Sorry, I
just wanted to view that.
Speaker 10: Sorry, unless I'm remembering wrong, the idea was that Gotham
was leading them up to the surface.
Speaker 2: Yep, So you get a response back. We've I'm not sure.
Well the vines are It depends on you detect a stop,
like a pause as you see them like hear them
tripping over their words, and you become aware that they
become aware of their word count. We're outside with conglow
as well as those who were above. The vines are
still in place. From the outside, we can't get in
through the entrance.
Speaker 1: We're safe.
Speaker 10: The vines are still there, but everyone is safe and
outside on the surface, they tell them they get far away.
Speaker 9: There's people are still trapped inside the town Without root bloom,
they're not going to be able to get out.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: And we need to get moving.
Speaker 5: M Are you going to or is this your new
domain for the time being.
Speaker 10: You want to know if you have to come visit.
Speaker 2: He looks at his arm, looks to the area.
Speaker 4: The look lowly against from Pepper.
Speaker 2: The further I go from this place, the less control
I'll have over it.
Speaker 5: When it explodes. It's gonna explode, right, yes, when you
lose control of this place. So are you do you
have a plan for I'm that sounds condescending when I asked,
do you have a plan for that?
Speaker 4: But I am genuinely am asking if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: You see him looking up toward the crystal and toward her,
and his eyes are shifting back and forth. There's a introspective,
contemplative look upon his face.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: The further I go, the less control I'll have. The
amount of time I can keep this place sealed is
going to be shortened.
Speaker 7: Assuming you're not staying, how long do you think you'd
know better than us?
Speaker 2: If I stay in contact with it, I could probably
keep this place sealed for a matter of a.
Speaker 1: Few days, and if you don't.
Speaker 2: I imagine if I were to leave, if I'm not
in direct contact with this place, probably less than a day,
which means if I want to get out of here,
or if you're looking for solutions to your problems, I
have basically three options. I can attempt to use this
place to perform magic that would get everybody, all of
us up to the town immediately, but I have no
idea if that would work, and if I do, this
place would be unsealed right away. I could also go
with you guys and try to make it to the surface,
knowing that if this place were to break open, what
is contained within it would probably catch up with us.
Speaker 11: Or.
Speaker 2: The most sensible option. I can stay here until this
place breaks open, and you guys could get as far
up to the surface as you can.
Speaker 4: Those are three options.
Speaker 2: As far as I'm concerned, me trying to go up
with you, if you're trying to go up the normal
way might as well be suicide. The creatures that are
down here and the mists move faster than people can travel.
Speaker 9: Do we have the ability to contact anyone else in town?
Can you contact Commander Dendron.
Speaker 5: M I use everything I had to take down That best.
Speaker 7: If they take a if we take some time to rest,
do you think you could?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 7: What if we can.
Speaker 9: Get them all to get ready at the gate together,
if they're ready for us, we could try that first plan.
We'd have to get there, and we'd have to move fast,
but several days to the surface, so we should have
at least an hour or two right.
Speaker 7: Bare minimum.
Speaker 2: But if we if I try to get everybody up
there immediately, Yeah, I don't know how fast things move
within these mists, or it seems to me based on
our previous encounters with them, they can also operate where
they need to within it. This place is like a
geyser that's been ready to blow if it opens, and
if it opens suddenly, the mists reach it within a day.
Speaker 1: I don't know how.
Speaker 9: We only need a few hours, maybe less, as long
as we can get lily at a punch through that vine.
Speaker 5: Wall, then removed the plug, get out.
Speaker 9: There's two places in town that people are. They have
people left at the Temple of the Moon Rabbit and people.
Speaker 7: In HQ.
Speaker 9: If we can get everyone together, then reasonably we could
get close enough that we could get there and get
everyone out and you wouldn't have to stay behind, and
let's face it, you'd end up dead down here. M
I'd prefer not to have any more people die if
I can avoid it. Does it make sense? I don't
know if that's a great plan.
Speaker 1: It seems like it works to me.
Speaker 9: So the only one I can think of where you're
not killing yourself. Sorry, Pepper, you were saying something.
Speaker 5: I'm just thinking logisticks. I mean, I guess we'll figure it.
Speaker 9: The most important thing is if we can get the contact,
we can get them to get everyone together. You can
take some time give them. I mean, they can be
together in a matter of what a few hours. They'd
have to go all the way through town, but that
only takes two three hours at the most, so they're
in back.
Speaker 7: Give them six hours after that.
Speaker 9: We make our move and then Lily, it's going to
be on you. I know that kind of sucks for
you cutting through those or you're gonna be okay with.
Speaker 10: That, I've been kind of set to be. I guess
the key air quotes either.
Speaker 9: I don't think we know of any other way out
mm hmmm, mm hmmm. Gotham sure not going to lead
us out a nice way.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think soon that.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: I mean, have you tried asking him?
Speaker 1: Maybe you're maybe you're.
Speaker 2: You're what third father has a better solution for us.
Speaker 1: I don't think he liked I don't think.
Speaker 4: He likes me that much. I mean, we did just
do him a favor.
Speaker 5: I don't mean to make points, but hey, he told
us to go and get at the kiss.
Speaker 4: We gone and got him.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but we also wanted to do that. Yes, so
one can say that the joint interest as a result
is the completion of the favor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I grew. I agree with you worth it?
Speaker 10: I mean, oh no, I'm not no, non't ask you
never know that's the best thing that could say is yes,
I'm I'm saying and there there are reasons why he
might be thick all he's also again led all of
our remaining friends and family and innocent citizens out that
he could.
Speaker 1: Commune with him. Can I bluetooth to fucking Gotham? Quick?
Speaker 2: Roll me a charisma check.
Speaker 4: Paging for Gotham. Paging for Gotham.
Speaker 1: It's an eleven, come on, come on literally in eleven.
Speaker 2: All right, you focus on trying to contact Gotham. You
focus all of your energy, You try to recall what
it feels like to be in their presence when you'd
spoken to them previously. Roll me a D one hundred now.
Speaker 1: All right, pain and suffering, Here we.
Speaker 2: Go, Pain and suffering, here we go.
Speaker 1: Oh, show me one.
Speaker 2: Loe's good.
Speaker 1: It's actually a pretty good.
Speaker 2: As you focus on doing so, you again feel similar
to in Lily a cast sending and it caused a
little ieruption of magical energy around them in the crystal.
You feel as you try to commune with Gotham, a
similar presence, like a similar outpouring of energy from you
into the crystal around you, and you see a shifting
on underneath you looking down at the ground, which again
is made of crystal. You note that there your reflection
appears to have changed and become another individual, someone who
is obscured, who is by the refraction of the crystal,
difficult to tell who they are. And they walk away
from you, back toward the dais, back toward the center.
As they leave you and they go up to it,
you see a you hear just like a little shimmer
of magical energy, and you hear a coming from where
Ethicus's body had been laying.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, Lily was still over there?
Speaker 2: Are you still you are still over there? Sorry? So again,
as this happens, then I assumed everyone had moved over there, Lily.
As this happens, you see the body of Ethicus, not
like reanimate, but you see its mouth open, their neck twist,
their eyes glaze over and become pure white, and this
faint purplish energy escape from their mouth and nostrils, and
you just hear.
Speaker 3: Ah scn wisious to speak.
Speaker 1: He jumps over here? Who do you have to traumatize everyone?
When you show up the body?
Speaker 2: The body lifts off the ground, arms dangling loosely, legs
dangling loosely, it floats a couple of feet up above
the ground, head twisted to the side as though the
neck was not offering support. Got a sound coming from
your end, braiden as they look toward you again, eyes blank.
Speaker 3: I assume you seek my mice sun in darkness, God,
when you have of me.
Speaker 11: Uh, God, this is creepy, all right, Hey, so we
did what you wanted Dad.
Speaker 1: Not Well, you're in the body of former sperm donor, so, uh.
Speaker 11: You can see that in a little bit of a
predicament here. Uh, this place is kind of gonna blow.
Speaker 1: Like soon.
Speaker 11: We gotta get out of here. Is there anything you
can I am I asking you? Is there anything you
can do.
Speaker 1: To help us get out of here? You know sicker.
Speaker 3: Sense you're arrived here. I have protected you from the
mists of this place. Yeah, but I would not easily
touch more of it. Even a god has prone to
the amiatic effects here. However, if you wish for time
to protect your tone to return and save them, I
may be able to use that woman's corpse to keep
this place contained for at least several days. But I
needed you enraching here so that you might punish your father,
my former alcolyte Scarner. What do I gain from helping
you now?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: If there's a choice, guies.
Speaker 7: To agree to it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, agree with it.
Speaker 7: We have another plan.
Speaker 3: If you have other options to consider, then I will
be direct Scarn. I will hold this place at bay
and in return, you make a soul binding deal with
me that in the future, when this is all done
and resolved, when I see it fit, you surrender your
body to fulfill its role as my vessel.
Speaker 1: Not soon.
Speaker 3: I still have plans for my current vessel, for the
goblin that my essence is deathered two. But when that
body has run racket and when I deem it, so
give me yours and I will lend my aid.
Speaker 11: No, it seems like a kind of offside of contract.
Here you get my eternal, literal body and likeness for
however long you.
Speaker 1: Feel, and I outside of that it gets it.
Speaker 10: Safe's a chance to live along, fulfilling life and be ready.
And when he's ready to leave the mortal coil, then
you can have it.
Speaker 11: I don't like I don't like the I don't like
the whole when you want it type you.
Speaker 7: Know either way?
Speaker 9: The truth is is that they have more motivation to
protect you here than ever, as you just said a
bit ago, you're not immune to this mist.
Speaker 7: The car dies down here. You can't really ever get
him back, can't you.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 10: A good point, something like over you like skine.
Speaker 4: You want to keep this big old thing around, don't you.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, I.
Speaker 10: Mean, half dark old, if he's gonna be living quite
a long time.
Speaker 3: You speak as though another ideal vessel was not on hand.
Speaker 4: Ooh, yikes, that is true.
Speaker 3: She has been found.
Speaker 4: Ooh no, hate that, hate that for us.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but she has like she has like issues. It's
weird and Scarn is like so much cooler.
Speaker 6: Do you really do you really want?
Speaker 10: You really want a vessel who's ass? I can kiss kick.
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 3: I won't.
Speaker 6: Didna try that to come.
Speaker 2: Really hard, hey, Lily, based on the thing you said previously,
roll me a persuasion, check your cards.
Speaker 6: Holy the holy moly those cords.
Speaker 10: Persuasion, curagma, pressure, I'm trying.
Speaker 3: There, we go.
Speaker 5: That is work.
Speaker 9: If she was as ideal as Scarn, I don't know
that you would have sunk so much effort into getting
him instead.
Speaker 3: If he is to be my ideal vessel. I so
trust he can survive on his own. You said you
have other plans.
Speaker 1: I offer this assurance.
Speaker 3: I would like you to reach your peak before I
claim you as my vessel, and I promise you becoming
my vessel would not be as simple as death. You
would not be erased. It would be you and I together,
but you would become a part of something divine. But
I am not a man with no manners. I would
allow you to live. To reach your peak. You would
merely need to trust that I would keep my word.
There's a show of good faith, all right, Okay, yeah,
I was sorry.
Speaker 7: If you get that drip though, mm hmm, what's the
drip package?
Speaker 1: Like, my guy, what's the drip package?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta get all my I gotta get
all my options out here.
Speaker 2: Like what's I mean?
Speaker 1: I see you? I see you, I see you got
that ship on? Like currently no, because you look like
a fucking fog inside of it.
Speaker 7: But like sauce package, spooky shadow prince stuff.
Speaker 1: You did have that ship on. I do remember, I
do remember he did have that.
Speaker 3: It was pretty clean, drip splendid, finer raced he's.
Speaker 1: Gotta go with this ship.
Speaker 7: Damn.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got after all nobility.
Speaker 10: Think of a give a checks you can fall in
with that ship.
Speaker 2: I think escape with corpse body floating as you guys
talking about got them behind the wheel, like, is this
what's going to fucking bring them around?
Speaker 6: Your dad was an asshole, but light look at.
Speaker 13: The additional trying to work on markets to wait no
no no no no no no no offset and a
gape shift ahead, shifting between the two of them slightly.
Speaker 7: Before you're doing your soul to his domain for ostensibly forever.
I do think we can make it without him, Okay, okay.
Speaker 9: My question to you, I guess is you can assure
that it will almost certainly work no matter what, or
we can take a chance. I have an easier time
telling him to go fuck himself because I'm dying anyways.
Speaker 7: So don't let you know.
Speaker 3: My standing here is doing part to me, Desmond, is
it not?
Speaker 7: It is, but don't expect me to thank you for it.
Speaker 1: I will give you.
Speaker 3: One final warningscan and then you may give me your answer.
There is a part of me intelibly inside of you,
whether you agree to this or not. One day over
the course of your long life, my influence will be
enough to simply take what I want. I am only
offering you a chance to agree to it.
Speaker 1: Oh, creepy, don't like that, bro, don't like that at all.
Speaker 4: So what it what it sounds like for me?
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't.
Speaker 10: So what it sounds like What the Gotham I think
is trying to tell us is that him, him asserting
his influence and dominance over you. It's kind of crazy
to put it that way. This is this is a
non negotiable.
Speaker 1: That part is like an inevitability. I still got the rib,
and I'm not gonna lie to you. The rib influence
is real. I'm literally talking to you right now.
Speaker 3: So it can either be a pleasant experience that's worse
when you and I agree it to be so in
a sense, or I can torment your thoughts and plague
your nightmares and erode you.
Speaker 1: From the inside.
Speaker 10: He's making embarrassed two point oh, but me, he's gonna
make you move farist two point oh also doesn't get
him again, and we don't want embarrass to get him again.
Speaker 1: Can I be real with you, he's kind of giving me.
He's not He's not pushing.
Speaker 11: A bad vibe right now, I'm not gonna lie to you,
and like hmmm, he seems like he wants to uh
take over eventually anyway.
Speaker 5: Later the choice yeah, oh yeah, yeah you no, no, no, no,
I just can't participate in the com I mean, it's event.
Speaker 6: It's all up to you.
Speaker 4: Scar and driven ladies.
Speaker 3: Pull you undergochetting for it's time.
Speaker 1: I know, I get it, I give it.
Speaker 7: The real question is do you want to live in
the darker? Fight it?
Speaker 4: Mm hmm bars yea god damn it. For a moment,
she just put her hand on his shoulders.
Speaker 14: Ship put that on a poster. You're right though, it's
fucked up, but uh yeah and uh say, he says this.
Speaker 1: We're playing D and D.
Speaker 4: Hey, the evil you know is better.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be real with you.
Speaker 1: Got them. I hate to say it. You're kind of
convincing me. Now here's the thing, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: We will agree.
Speaker 1: This is not happening anytime sooner, right you fuckoh? All right?
I do not trust, but I do understand business. You
talk to me, I talk to you. We're gonna get
through this. I got a long ass life coming in
front of me. All right, and I will not have
you taking over influence over all of that ship. Okay,
I saw what happened in Moon there. She was probably
chill before that. I never knew her.
Speaker 7: Ill.
Speaker 3: So long as you seek emptterment, as long as you
seek to improve yourself so that you might be a
better vessel for me, then I will not step in
to take what is mine. But should you become lax,
should you ever cause undue harm to the body that
would be mine, then I will claim what I wish
When I wish it. Does that sound fair?
Speaker 10: Beat your body like the temple it is, or you'll
have vict.
Speaker 1: You yet love.
Speaker 3: Teem it to be so that you have reached your peak.
I also shall take what I wish.
Speaker 1: But what if I can find a peak or peak?
You ever thought about?
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 1: You don't know, Andrew, I can figure a way.
Speaker 3: You will have to trust me.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: I have not reneged on any assurance I have given
you so far.
Speaker 11: See, that's the fucked up thing is that I do
Unfortunately low key, I kind of trust you he's a businessman,
because I still have plans for the complain.
Speaker 10: Yes, until he's done with Congo. You don't even have
to worry about your end of the bargain.
Speaker 4: You know what you can have.
Speaker 9: Why, Yes, I feel like we're all punched drunk from
fighting the whale.
Speaker 1: I do have seven HP.
Speaker 7: You see that.
Speaker 2: You hear the cracking of bone as one segment at
a time, one joint at a time. The hand of
the corpse reaches out as though in a handshake gesture.
Speaker 10: Ah, that's Cross, that's Cross's remember whose hand that is?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I'm not. Oh God, I hate that.
Speaker 10: Guy like I just I just keep telling myself that
if it wasn't for gotten, if it wasn't for all
of this, as much as I don't like how it looks,
we wouldn't even be standing here right now with the
option to make.
Speaker 1: A choice that is actually unfortunately true.
Speaker 6: Like we'd be drooling and dead somewhere.
Speaker 7: I don't think we need him, That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 11: I don't think we need him, But unfortunately, I feel
like he's giving us the best option without anyone else dying,
and I will eventually die.
Speaker 9: I don't think anyone has to die here either. If
you can tell aport us up, as long as we
take a moment, it'll be a risk. I mean, you
risk your own lives. I do not want to talk here.
Speaker 2: I'm already dead, relatively confident I can get ad least
to all of you up.
Speaker 9: I shouldn't ideally be around long enough you get you
through the crack ross. And if not, if he can't
get us closer that is, and then and then it's
up to Lily.
Speaker 1: This guy sucks. I don't like Gotham. I don't like
you taking over my Bobby me.
Speaker 10: And you'll at least make it a peaceful transition, or
he'll just take it by force anyway, whenever he deems
he wants it.
Speaker 6: Now you've got at least in your laugh.
Speaker 7: You know, I don't know that I believe him when
he says that.
Speaker 1: That's very true.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but he also could have reneged a bunch of
previous favors he did for as and he hasn't.
Speaker 7: You can be a person of your word and still
lie when it roll inside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't fuck me like that game.
Speaker 2: As you think about as you think about the possible
honesty of Gotham, several factors come to your mind. You
can't really get a read on him, especially since he's
fucking speak through debting right now, and there's no real
things to pay attention to. But as you consider it,
options come to mind. A. He did what he said
he was gonna do. He helped you get down here.
He kept the Amnietic myths off of you.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: He saw a common enemy in Ethicus, and he assisted
you guys in coming to get them. On the other hand, Uh,
he You look up and you see what has become
of Ethicus, a former devout servant of this man. You
see what he You think of what he had done
to Moon Theis and moon Theras's family. You there's definitely
multiple sides to him. You'd get the sense from Gotham
that they are a they have a they have dignity.
Then when they they are a noble and when they
have made an assurance, they seem to have kept it.
But their their rage and their vengeance upon those that
defy them, as you can see by Ethicus, is swift
and torturous. Those things all come to mind.
Speaker 9: I can tell you that every single person in Gilligan's
pit who died died because he wanted this exact thing
to happen. That's true to by all means, give him
what he wants if that's what you think is best,
But he did want some small piece of vengeance.
Speaker 2: I will also, just in the theme of what I
reminded you of before, also point out that the seeming
abandonment of all the Court of Decay members who were
still loyal to Gotham up in the Pits was because
he was mad at Ethicus, and so he made everyone
who followed Ethicus.
Speaker 1: Everyone else around him.
Speaker 2: These are things you know about him.
Speaker 7: Yes, he is.
Speaker 1: He's a dick objegraably dick with.
Speaker 10: It really just comes down to if you're going if
you're going to give him.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, like out of character, out of character now
completely like really really like get the character.
Speaker 10: Objectively no matter what scarm chooses, Gotham is getting.
Speaker 1: Like he's getting the body eventually.
Speaker 10: Yeah, if we if we choose to believe in which
he's taking Conglo and we just saw he just fucking
turned He just fucking turned Ethicists into a goddamn muppet
right now, like like he's fucking he's got his hand
up fucking Ethicus.
Speaker 6: Ass and turned the into a muppet.
Speaker 4: Like he can do it.
Speaker 6: I have no reason to believe why he would not
do it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's my thing, my my whole brain is like,
if I do let this man do this, I low
key understand the path. I have not the power, but
I have the like ability to be like, Yeah, I
can live for as long as I can possibly live
until there's a point where my everyone I give a
shit about is gone.
Speaker 1: Because I be real elf boy, Yeah, Scarn, I could
become another fucking.
Speaker 6: Uhc if Scarn makes the choice.
Speaker 10: According to Epicus, if he is a god of his word,
Scarn will be able to first off, have the assurance
of the rest of Conglo's life that he doesn't have
to worry.
Speaker 2: About, and then life quotes that might be very short.
Speaker 10: It could be very short, but again it could be
it could be a year to a couple of years,
depending on goblin livespan, or if you decide he's bored
of cons.
Speaker 9: Every avatar of Gotham that's not a suitable host rots
and decays, So he's going to slowly crumble from within.
Speaker 10: Yeah he's gonna Okay, he's gonna Michael Laughton at fucking.
Speaker 7: Scarn.
Speaker 2: Scarn's mind flashes to the remains of the monstrous former
vessel of Gotham that you guys saw when you went
to the tower to get rope, you're reminded of what
his influence. It won't do that to you, but of
what his presence his essence does to things.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but if Scarn makes the choice and is like, yeah,
let's do this, Scarn could up till a certain point
still live out and enjoy his life and have a
fulfilling one. It's just at some point Gotham is gonna
be like, I this looks good right now, though, like
this looks the steak looks ready.
Speaker 9: And becoming a part of Gotham, which it would kind
of change how you interact with the cycle of rebirth
insomnis domina.
Speaker 7: Normally, you die, you go somewhere, you become something else.
Speaker 9: With you becoming a part of a divine deity, you
might just be there forever, forever, forever.
Speaker 4: Trapped with good drip. So that's something else.
Speaker 10: Knowledge on how the like this requires more knowledge on
how the gods work that we do not have.
Speaker 2: That sounds that will sound like the words of someone
not making a religion.
Speaker 7: Check to me.
Speaker 6: Someone can make a religion check if they want to.
Speaker 10: Point being is that it's gonna it's gonna happen at
some point it's gonna be though, with some sort of
agreement on Scar's terms, with even a possibility of cohabitation.
Speaker 6: So he's just gonna have a little roommate in there,
or he's.
Speaker 10: Gonna take it by force. The scarn that we know
would be essentially gone. And it's just it's Ethicus's body now,
and that's if we don't choose, or that's if Scar
doesn't choose.
Speaker 2: Your brain, your mind flash, you can just get Initially,
your mind flashes too. Just as Anna says, these things,
scarn works through them in their head as well. Your
mind flashes to whenever you guys saved Conglo, you briefly
thought it was still Conglow.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Then there was no discernible difference between how Conglo acted
and Gotham acted. That he put on the act of
being Conglo almost flawlessly, and then the entire lack of
what was Conglo when he finally revealed himself to be
what he was.
Speaker 7: You can take that for what you will.
Speaker 2: But in his current vessel in theory, he should have
the same oneness with Conglo, but that seemed to only
be in service to whatever Gotham wanted.
Speaker 1: The same oneness h.
Speaker 9: Fight Gotham, join Gotham early at the end of the day.
That's your choice here, fight Gotham or join them.
Speaker 1: I do dislike this guy, yeah, I.
Speaker 10: Mean you don't like him. That could be just reason enough,
like you just there's something in the back of your
head that's just like no, at the end of the day,
he's gonna come with an eviction.
Speaker 3: Notice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's the fucking thing.
Speaker 7: I don't want to land and somewhat cosmic enemies. At
some point. I won't say that.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I just don't like that. I don't
like the whole thing. And I also have been fighting
against him this entire time. And if I just turn
around and be like, hey, man, handshake because I felt
like it, not, that's far I'm gonna have to refuse.
Speaker 6: Could be like he was thinking about it, but really no,
like consistency. Why is it's just like no, no this
guy yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yea. That's kind of where I'm at right now.
Speaker 2: The entire as far as I'm considered, our entire conversation
right now is scar and working shoot through ship in
his head normally close up and uh, this is all
as you bring stuff up I'm like, here's some framing
for things earlier in the campaign. It's like everybody's gonna
circle around. In Scarn's brain, this is this is the
fucking we needed more budget, Like we need to spread
the budget for the season like thinner. So this episode
is like two thirds like clip show.
Speaker 6: I'm I started this whole tangent.
Speaker 2: I don't know. So there are times in D and
D where I would be like, Okay, let's do this,
Like in character, I think this is a finest gushion.
It's sort of just a pow wow in Scarn's head
about a.
Speaker 9: Yeah, have a side of the screen where you move
your mouse over it to select the decision.
Speaker 2: At highlights, there's like the infamous like good side bad sense.
As you as you consider these options and you look
toward him, the hand of your father, a former acolyte,
a former equerry of Gotham. Their hand remains outstretched, their corpse,
ready to make this deal with you. He already said.
He demands your answer.
Speaker 7: It's on you.
Speaker 11: You give a hard bargain, but I have to refuse.
I can't give you what you want, and I will
fight against it for as long as I have to.
Speaker 3: One day you will walk the halls avel catafi enne
with me, and you will understand what you have turned
down here.
Speaker 1: But I bear you no ill will.
Speaker 3: You will not know what it means to be one
with a god. So long as you are mortal, scn
survive this so that I may claim what is frightfully mine.
Speaker 2: And as they say that, the glow vanishes and the
body unceremoniously falls to the ground. There's a sickening as
it hits it, and Gotham's influence is gone.
Speaker 10: I don't one day you'll hear what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: One day you have.
Speaker 2: To fight that guy every like forty five weeks. Once
you're up there, this d's just gonna show up like
a fucking like a Pokemon rival out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: It's me, not in a.
Speaker 2: Gross body this time. Hello, I've come to get you.
Pulls out Pokemon be tweet makes it.
Speaker 4: Hell?
Speaker 2: Here we go, pokembon, what.
Speaker 1: A telling you about? I'm gonna stab it. I'm just
gonna stab it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. I'm gonna stab it.
Duckball go no bats it away with the chain. There
is a silence that falls over the crystal lake. You
swear you hear the sound of the body collapsing to
the ground echo out for a full minute, just a
I wasn't gonna do it, guys. And also as this happens,
in the miss that had been staying at a perimeter
around the area, you see them slowly begin to creep inward.
Speaker 1: So I think we got a little bit of time.
Speaker 11: The guy I pissed off, the guy who was holding
back the bad juice, need let me help.
Speaker 7: What we gotta do?
Speaker 1: What we got to do? We got no time?
Speaker 7: Oh he hit a second there.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be.
Speaker 5: Able to message Dendron with this time limit we've got.
I've got one.
Speaker 4: Kick a magic. I mean, it's not enough to even
budge some lint.
Speaker 2: Okay, the myst don't look like they're coming in very quickly.
We probably only have limited time. I can I can
probably attempt it's magic. I don't actually know, so I
would have to he like looks at his hand and
flexes it and as he does, you see arcane, do
you like crackle and shift around his hand. I'd have
to use iomancy to basically make up the magic, But
I think that I can do that.
Speaker 4: Is that your magic focus now your son.
Speaker 2: This it's a part of my body that was tainted
with iomatic radiation. Since it's a part of me, it
acts as a gradient between me and this place.
Speaker 5: Hmmm.
Speaker 2: Also, I first thing I I did when I got
control of it was, uh, fix it, to stop it.
Speaker 5: You do have self preservation, huh whatever, I mean, he
was just volunteering to kill himself not ten minutes ago.
Speaker 7: That's not going to hurt themselves.
Speaker 1: I probably would have.
Speaker 4: Betrayed you it Ebbs in Waynes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe I could tell so I could tell
apart teleport myself away.
Speaker 7: You don't know, jerk, you make for a terrible.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 10: Yeah. And as Pepper and as Pepper left, your left
your view, you would smile, you would get you would
give a sincere smile and turn away.
Speaker 6: He went to build up with the big goddamn hero.
Speaker 4: I'm stomping over there.
Speaker 5: I'm killing Lilypher just kind of sumps over and like
pushes that are very playfully.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I will tell you that if I teleport us all
out of here, I'm going to be giving this place
a hell of a jump start. I'll basically be Yeah,
I'll have to crack it open and use up all
the energy atop the lake at wants to do it.
Like I said, we might really have hours at that
point before the mists reached Gilligan's pit.
Speaker 7: We can work with hours.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hours, We can play with seconds, not so much,
but especially if I help you make sure that that
transportation spell works flawlessly, and if I get the message up.
Speaker 4: To dnj In.
Speaker 9: I mean we have like twenty minutes, maybe, am I not?
Even Let's avoid Dendron. Yeah, message people at the church
and get them to move to Dendron.
Speaker 7: It'd be faster. They don't have to go there.
Speaker 5: Fever, Like I like sitting down to take that rest,
and you see your cheeks get like really warm and red,
And she's like, well, actually, if we only have twenty minutes,
I still can't do it.
Speaker 4: I would need to sleep.
Speaker 10: Huh Okay, if you have messaged, then why don't you
message anybody?
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you don't need to change plan?
Speaker 1: Then can you get us to the church. I could try.
Speaker 2: Also, the spell is called sending.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you. I still can't get the message to them.
Speaker 9: If you go there, you can grab everyone. It'll be
a rapid evacuation. But we'll go from there to the
center of the town, and then we can cut our
way into or through the crack rot up to everybody
else and escape there. I think that's the best route.
Speaker 4: Try not to get us lost on the way there.
All that we'll be helping.
Speaker 1: I'll try.
Speaker 2: No promises you do.
Speaker 7: I need you for a second, grab Cathos, I thought,
what what's up over here? Hold on right here?
Speaker 2: It's weird being told by somebody you don't at least
let me walk normally.
Speaker 7: You're so tiny? What all right? Thank you?
Speaker 9: So this is a personal ask, but you'll look over
to Pepper for a second. They're gonna need somebody after
all this, because I think they're headed back to the
academy place, not the academy, the college, and I think
with your new predicament, that might be a good place
for you anyways, But I want to make sure somebody's
looking out for them.
Speaker 1: But don't they have their family or something?
Speaker 9: They should assuming that place is another place you can trust,
But I don't know. They all seem like fucking liars
to me. So given that piece of shit over there
is from there, it's not like they have to be
good to be there.
Speaker 2: I have plans after this place, but I'll to lay
them to make sure they're okay.
Speaker 7: Sure, bunkle or whatever. They seem okay, but they're also chaotic.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hang out at gun Gooth for
too long, though.
Speaker 7: Don't want them too interested in your itemancy.
Speaker 5: I just.
Speaker 2: M I can't learn magic the way that they teach it,
and that makes me feel bad.
Speaker 7: Now I get that. I guess I'm not exactly the sharpest.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of
sorcerers and wizards pointing at me.
Speaker 9: Maybe that's the way you and her can bund Oh
she's got it, though I don't know if I think
she's starting this whole wizard thing. Yeah, all right, that's awesome,
and you're all right for what it's worth. Stop trying
to pretend your fucking asshole, or many of you are
fucking asshole. Stop trying to pretend you're evil.
Speaker 2: Like after you'd pulled him over, he like reaches up
to his collar and just like aggressively, just just unpuffs it.
I never said it was evil, and you keep acting
like it only ever been me turns his nose up,
all right.
Speaker 7: Quick breather.
Speaker 9: Everyone, Yeah, what energy in you? You can because once
we go, I don't know that there's any stopping. Actually,
two fox over the days. Yeah, there's a bit of a.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna like something that has to be done.
Oh yeah, I don't want to hit this place with
magic just yet. Can I have your gun for a moment?
Speaker 7: Which one.
Speaker 1: Any that shoots bullets?
Speaker 7: Spin the revolver and it to him, holding it by
the barrel.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to surprise you with this, but I
hope you understand why it has to be done. He
aims the gun up toward the crystal with the feminine
figure inside of it.
Speaker 1: Do it.
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 7: I can't.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Pulls the trigger. There is a click you all from
over where they went behind the throne to talk you all.
Hear a resounding gun shot in the cracking of crystal.
As you guys see that a bullet has gone into
and through the crystal spire that is holding the woman.
There's no change on the inside from them, but the
smoke escapes the barrel of the gun. As Catho says,
shot a bullet through it and through her.
Speaker 7: It makes sense, you know, goodbye? May've whatever he was
left in there.
Speaker 1: That was a corpse, right, That a corpse. That's a corpse.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: I'm not freaking out because you just.
Speaker 4: Are, if not literally metaphor.
Speaker 2: And he's going to toss the contacted testament.
Speaker 1: You catch it, you know what, I'm not gonna think
about it. I'm gonna I'm not gonna think about it.
She was already dead.
Speaker 7: Be better than main trap down here, even if she wasn't.
Speaker 2: At least this way, we've temporarily sent the shadow back
down below. I might buy us a little bit of time.
Speaker 5: Speaking of Tom, I kind of remembered something that I forgot,
But then I was looking in my pack and I remembered,
We and Pepper will pull out this bottle. I still
have an elixir and it actually lets me rest like
an elf. H I've drunk it at this point.
Speaker 2: Just to be clear, resting like an elf doesn't help
the rest doesn't have to help you rest faster. It
just means that you can trance.
Speaker 4: Oh I thought, wait, okay, sleep like.
Speaker 2: Quicker or anything.
Speaker 11: I don't sleep quicker for four hours instead of I'm
just watching tiktoks all night.
Speaker 1: When I get a regular night of sleep.
Speaker 6: On Twitter.
Speaker 5: Remember it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so.
Speaker 4: Uh they do not Oh, I see, I see, I see,
I see I see.
Speaker 2: Okay, never so well, I'm in your inventory.
Speaker 4: Then I don't drink that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I deleted the Also, Katus has the
puzzle box and probably my cape the fucker.
Speaker 4: But that's not my point. It doesn't do the thing
that I thought it did where it would give me
a Yeah, I don't know that.
Speaker 7: We have four hours anyways, we got maybe one tops.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll say that for a rainy day.
Speaker 1: So you need to go to the temple.
Speaker 7: Yeah, tumple to the moon, rab we go.
Speaker 2: Okay, everybody, you have ten minutes and then I'm doing
this thing.
Speaker 7: Cat, don't get too far. You need to be close.
Speaker 2: I want to go up to the surface. Also, was
that God? Was that not just animated? I've been sitting
here trying not to intervene because it don't seem like
it's about my pay grade point, said Elicus.
Speaker 10: You should really be asking questions when it's relevant for.
Speaker 6: Them to be asked.
Speaker 1: I don't worry about it, bro, It's not worth it.
At this point.
Speaker 4: I wish I didn't know.
Speaker 7: Sometime spot to sit down and just.
Speaker 1: All on for a second. Name maybe large.
Speaker 15: Okay, I'm good now, Yeah, I suppose I'm finally gonna
have to visit that town of yours.
Speaker 7: Briefly, we're gonna meet running through real fast.
Speaker 10: Don't worry, you'll be out before you get a chance
to even miss it to the surface.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, you're gonna have to come up there eventually.
Speaker 10: Stop queen, you're gonna have to go up there and
breathe new air.
Speaker 1: There's plenty.
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to find other dirt to go under.
Speaker 1: As soon as I'm up there.
Speaker 2: The first chance I get to head back on the ground,
I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 4: Oh, but for you.
Speaker 5: Walking the way I speak, Pepper will instantly turn into
a tiny cag and be like, I.
Speaker 3: Stop.
Speaker 2: I'm the last survivor than an entire culture of Doura
car and you're making funder.
Speaker 6: Me survivor of a long line of.
Speaker 2: The clan, the last, the final of the undershockman.
Speaker 7: Bo I hate this lightly. It did not sound like that,
just give it so happy to be here.
Speaker 5: For that well not though, Yeah, and Pepper will just
kind of like PLoP down next to Desmond back and
Pepper for but very pleased with herself.
Speaker 6: Give it a chance, cag you never know you.
Speaker 3: Might like it.
Speaker 4: You're gone, come on.
Speaker 7: Up to you to start the line again, right, yeah,
I might.
Speaker 10: Find yourself, might find yourself a nice girl. Min start
some a new line of dooty girl.
Speaker 7: I'm not happy.
Speaker 6: You can't have a whole proud line.
Speaker 10: Continue if you don't got a wee lassy by your side,
perfect per smooching all the.
Speaker 2: Town back and it's gonna get over by fucking miss demons.
Speaker 4: Can make a new one.
Speaker 7: I got it just all the way I liked it
without faying, well, you'll get it back for.
Speaker 10: You make your new tunnel house at tunnel Home.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to talk any more.
Speaker 2: People are going to keep doing this. Fuck do I
even want to do anything? During the ten minutes that
Cathos is holding his arm up, shifting it as though
like turning dials and moving things as he seems to
keep operating these magic circles in front of him, spinning
them like shifting. He's like Tony starking, you know Tony
Stark with his fucking VR stuff. He's basically doing that
but with symbols, yeah, moving them around him, creating this
like cosmological model surrounding him that very rapidly becomes impossible
to keep track of or understand.
Speaker 9: Desmond's gonna cast good berry and give everyone some good berries.
It's not really a meal, but I might as well
be running on a full stomach.
Speaker 2: So yeah, sorry, everyone else doing anything in the roughly
tenish minutes they have before I mark down what we
need to make this check because no guarantee Cathos can
do this.
Speaker 16: Ah, I don't have anything on me, And it just
gets the hell wrong and we end up in like
a different part of the sermon way.
Speaker 7: We're like, oh, they're all dead.
Speaker 2: Just show up out say oh good're outside. Oh no,
we're outside.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like when.
Speaker 5: Desmond would go to give Pepper a good berry, she
would kind of have been once realizing that whatever Cathos
is doing is far too complicated for her to participate
or help it.
Speaker 4: Because she's sulking for now.
Speaker 5: She's going to try to help when it gets to it,
but she probably would have been sulking away from the
group for a moment.
Speaker 4: Getting her mind would have stopped him.
Speaker 2: Stop Desmond, all right in that case, So we're going
right to the check. So this is going to be
a leading Arkana check and.
Speaker 1: Talk to me.
Speaker 2: What Sorry, sorry, my brain blanked on the last thing.
I don't know why I didn't hear you say that.
I'm gonna be real. I just I think I like
spaced for like two seconds. You go talk to Desmond.
I'm so sorry. I'm so dumb.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're they're like looking out the water forget away
from the group.
Speaker 4: Pepper's just throwing.
Speaker 5: Little stones, a little walks into the water. Gone, No, well,
just into the the mist, Yes, into the mist.
Speaker 4: I like that that image.
Speaker 5: This would probably be the last time that we have
downtime of any sort.
Speaker 4: I figure it's gonna be go time from here on.
Speaker 7: Out, like a couple of hours, and then it's all over.
Speaker 5: You really think that once, once everyone's out, they're gonna.
Speaker 4: Call you back.
Speaker 7: Yeah. No, I felt it when we got rid of them.
M Oh, I'm happy. I'll be missed. It's a weird feeling.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not gonna be like completely gone. I'll still.
Speaker 5: I'll still see you every time I think about freaking
eat your dirt.
Speaker 9: I'll be somewhere. I mean, if I'm lucky, I'll be
in that place with that angel lady we saw before.
You can just come visit and your punkle can come
by and be I don't know, garden a thing. I
don't exactly know what the afterlife looks.
Speaker 7: Like for me.
Speaker 4: I do hope you go through the cycle.
Speaker 5: And you talked about maybe running into me again someday
that that sounded really nice.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 9: You guys live alone a while, right, so there's a
good chance you'll see me again, at least on this plane.
And if things go really bad, then who knows, maybe
we'll see each other.
Speaker 7: Shoner that we thought.
Speaker 5: I wonder if I'll feel the same as.
Speaker 7: I do now, hopefully. I like being enjoyed?
Speaker 4: Enjoyed?
Speaker 5: Is is that?
Speaker 7: Is it the word for it?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 7: Is it wrong?
Speaker 4: I figured you knew at this point. Everyone's been freaking
obvious about it.
Speaker 7: I uh, I've been trying to fix, uh, fix, trying to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Believe I've given you space for that, and I think
that that's that's right.
Speaker 4: I just I don't know, since.
Speaker 5: These are what will probably be our last moments, I
guess I want it to be selfish, since I gave
Laurie all the time.
Speaker 12: To be with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm I'm just someone who came here to
fix a problem, which you got fixed.
Speaker 5: So it's all successes as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 9: Well, if yeah means anything, I like your art. I
think if I'd stuck around, I probably could have been something.
But I uh, I've also been dealing with my feelings
for someone else for a.
Speaker 4: While, and I knew. I knew I did. I knew
that too.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: It's not ideal for me to be.
Speaker 9: I wasn't gonna as complicated. Life's never easy. I wouldn't
put that on anybody, but.
Speaker 4: I thought you should know. So you know, it's awesome
that you know. I'm gonna take this big rock and
freaking push it down. That was a big one.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'll find someone cooler than me anyways. I'm I'm
not much of a catch.
Speaker 4: I think we would have made a beautiful mess, but
that's our.
Speaker 5: H. Well, I gotta go make sure Cathos doesn't get
us freaking lost again.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna mentally prepare myself. I guess h h, good talk.
I'll give their shoulder a little squeeze.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna pat his shoulder.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that would have been weird.
Speaker 4: Oh you don't even know fever is just gonna like
run off like look back kind of.
Speaker 6: What does that even mean?
Speaker 4: I mean, is that even a real magic symbol at
that point? Like what are you so?
Speaker 5: You said your arm isn't your magic focus, but you're
it's is it glowings?
Speaker 2: Idomancy isn't something that is brought forth by formulas, although
formulas can be used to help imagine it, like continues
to draw things in the air. It is using one's
will and imagination to repaint the canvas that is reality.
Speaker 1: That's why it's unstable.
Speaker 2: It requires idomatic energy because idomatic energy is at the
base of everything. It's chaotic, it's the building blocks of
the reality around us.
Speaker 5: But specifically, if you were your formula, would that help
you possibly mitigate certain.
Speaker 2: Difficulties with that I'm drawing here is a nder my
understanding of space. I'm creating charts and graphs that match
my own understanding of how space overlaps and works. And
I'm trying to construct an arcane tunnel.
Speaker 4: Like upwards to literal tunnel. A metaphysical yes, but lack
from point A to point B.
Speaker 2: Still, it's loosely based off of something called a sympathetic gateway,
specifically a sympathetic interrestrial gateway, except I'm using it to
move quicker because we can't make a little gate. As
soon as I cast the spell, this place is gonna
you hear off in the distance, just like a crack
and ah, and you see a glume of miss that's
gonna keep happening. That's gonna be this entire place. From
what I know of this place's dimensions, this place has
roughly got a surface area of what five square miles.
Speaker 1: That's all going to erupt just like that.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I don'mancy is.
Speaker 2: Beyond magic. It's magic is a derivative of it. Magic
is a science derived and composed underneath idemancy. I donmancy
is too magic what clerics are to gods or other
way around.
Speaker 5: I followed what you meant, so I think I'm starting
to like she's like looking at the graphs, you know,
hands on hips looking like squat like leaning down to
look at it, tail high in the air, Like I think,
I'm actually kind of starting to see what you mean
about these graphs.
Speaker 4: How can I help you this? What do you need
to make this spell go swimmingly?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: These are my understanding of space. Hmm, your understanding of
space would be different, right, so says do whatever. I
can't make you understand the way I understand. Okay, you
have to understand the way you understand, and I.
Speaker 4: Do understand the way I understand.
Speaker 2: Do you understand that you need to understand it the
way you understand that you cannot understand the and you
have to see an understanding.
Speaker 7: That only you do.
Speaker 5: What I'm saying is if I understand what you're understanding,
I can help you.
Speaker 2: On My point is that you can't see what I understand.
It's my grasp of space.
Speaker 4: What can I do to help you?
Speaker 9: You need to see.
Speaker 4: I've been there. I see I have eyes with your eyes,
with my brain, with with my magic.
Speaker 1: It's just kind of sound lame with your imagination.
Speaker 4: That's probably the coolest thing you've said. Don't cut yourself
too slick.
Speaker 7: Okay, with everybody, get in here. I'm about to do it.
Speaker 4: Oh warning, I might sound dorky, but I'm good.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 7: I'm ready, everybody.
Speaker 2: Cathos is trying big time to construct a spell based
on him him imagination. He is clearly stressed. He is
attempting to focus this is going to be a leading
arcana check. Just taking a beat here to make sure
I didn't miss anyone else trying to talk to anyone else,
because apparently I don't hear it when people talk. This
is going to be a leading arcana check that Cathos
is going to have to perform. Does anybody else want
to do anything to attempt to aid him in this?
Speaker 3: Me?
Speaker 2: Yes, I already know you. Let's let's go down the
list I'm gonna bring up I'm gonna kill initiative and
going down the list of people, Desmond, is there anything
that you would do to assist in this?
Speaker 9: I don't think I could assist him directly, but with
Desmond's insight, maybe can you try and explain like exactly
what he thinks Cathos means to Pepper to help them
help him better insight?
Speaker 7: Insight?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm going to say a that this is
going to give Cathos advantage when he makes it. Buh yeah.
You you listen to him, you get the idea behind it.
He's trying to explain something kind of as much philosophical
as it is scientific. You he imparts onto you that
idomancy appears to be a very personal sort of magic
he is describing that he needs. He's try using it
to try to change the world to match something that
he is imagining it to be, which is going to
be different than somebody else. So you impart onto Pepper
that rather than try to imagine what he is imagining,
if you try to imagine assisting him in doing so,
If you try to conceptually imagine and work with just
the idea that you are aiding him rather than trying
to achieve an effect, then that may assist him. So yeah,
can you're gonna know that you even absolutely help Pepper
to make their role and give advantage to Cathos. Is
there anything you would do Lilia?
Speaker 10: I don't know how she'd try to help, but I
also have a negative three in arcana.
Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be arcana. It can be trying
to help them concentrate. It can be offering moral support,
It can be anything that you can imagine might help
a frustrated sorcer Eric trying to do magic.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can try to help him concentrate.
Speaker 1: What would you do?
Speaker 4: I gotta whip up some of that shrim juice.
Speaker 10: I mean, if you want some shrom druice there's also like, okay,
so like you need like ear plugs, but your ears
you can't do what I do with my ears. So
do you want my ears to cover your ear so
that your ears can't hear?
Speaker 4: Pepper?
Speaker 2: Yes, not even.
Speaker 3: Ahead?
Speaker 2: Roll me, let's say, roll me a sleight of hand.
Speaker 1: Check?
Speaker 2: Okay, Loven cool, good to know, Scarn. Is there anything
that you would do to assist him?
Speaker 1: I don't think I got much like can help brother,
I can make him a drug with my medicine. Check.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, what is this apple cider vinegar?
I don't fancy the apple cider vinegar of magic?
Speaker 7: It does what it needs to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if if whatever, anything that you can do that
you would imagine assisting him, it can be literally like anything.
Speaker 1: I'll quite literally just uh be real with you.
Speaker 11: I feel like giving this man his space and just
being like over here, God, can I stealth check to
become quieter?
Speaker 2: Sure, roll stealth to try to not give him. I
accept You'll never know I was here. You'll never see it.
Speaker 1: Because like, okay, guys, there's no.
Speaker 2: Whoa all right, Pepper, Pepper, I want you you're gonna
help with Arkana.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's fucking reeling back from Desmond usually being like
he's a terrorist and we need to kill him, suddenly
being like, no, Pepper, here's how to explain after the
conversation they just had. So she's just closing her mind
and trying to tune it all out and just fucking
help Cathos.
Speaker 2: Thanks to Desmond explaining it to you, roll me in
ar kana check with advantage.
Speaker 5: It's just making her focus harder because she's like, oh,
I don't need to hear Desmond right now, focus, focus, focus, okay,
ar kana advantage.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be worth a one.
Speaker 4: M just thinking about helping Cathos.
Speaker 2: I think it's putting them all in.
Speaker 4: Grudgingly, I'm gonna roll real quick.
Speaker 2: It hasn't been putting them all in, okay, so I
gotta gotta keep track.
Speaker 1: So that was a three.
Speaker 2: Okay, you do that, you assist him, Cag's you gonna
do nothing? All right? Then it's on Cathos. Cathos is
going to roll on an arcana check with an additional
plus four with advantage, and he is going to have
to beat let me check one second, what is the
level of teleport seven. He's going to need to beat
a seventeen, so you know his total modifier is going
to be uh a nine with advantage, so statistically he
should have this. As he begins to charge up magic,
you see, he takes a bunch of the arcane circles
and glyphs that he's created, grabs them like scrunches them
together like paper between his hands, and then expands his
hands out, and as he does, they go on to
the ground, and they all suddenly form this one large
congruent set of arcane circles surrounding all of you guys.
As he does so, you hear cracking.
Speaker 7: As you hear.
Speaker 2: In the distance more guys springing up, an idomantic mist
erupting in the distance. You hear below you this deep
rumbling roar that shakes the ground, which begins to crack
under it. You hear just this deep just from below you,
and you start to see shadows moving underneath the crystal
below your feet. As it happens, and as like ice
cracking along toward you, the area shifts and breaks and
chunks of messite fly up from the ground. He's going
to make the roll as he claps his hands back
together and expands them out with an attempt to activate
the spell. Ar Kana check. Come on, Gas. There is
a rainbow eruption of magic that circles around this arcane
glyph that he's painted on the ground. You see his
arm glows brightly, and as it does, the arm that
had been a two uned to this area dissolves into nothingness.
The light that it becomes, it just disappears, like the
Elbrick brothers losing their limbs. It just vanishes and peels off,
leaving nothing behind it. There is a blast, an eruption
of energy below you. As this circle sends a shock
wave of energy out, mist pushes outward and then as
though air vanished, shloops back in towards you, decompresses, implodes
into the space. He has succeeded in casting the spell.
But let's see he is very familiar with the location
teleport mishap table. Let's do this.
Speaker 4: Oh no, come on, dude, there is a.
Speaker 2: Blast. You guys all hear there's a shock wave. Scar
and Lily, who were mostly sort of not involved in
this scarn. Lily and Desmond, I would like you guys
to please roll me. As everything vanishes and you see
something irrupting and moving up from below, emerging from underneath
the lake. I'd like you guys to roll me a
perception check to see if you can make out whatever
it is you see perception, perception.
Speaker 3: Disgrace, evil, this plain is this big sticks.
Speaker 7: I'm taking this seven because I'm double fatigued for some reason.
Speaker 2: Because that's doing that to checks Lily and Scarn, not
that it matters that overall Lily and Scarn perception checks
scot I think they might be dead. Oh there's scarnh
six one more. I think she might. You might have
stepped away.
Speaker 6: I'm still. I mean, I'm here, but I'm here.
Speaker 7: We won't see what it is Westen see the devil from.
Speaker 2: The Bible, any perception. The magic is going off, the
circle is happening, and as you guys are vanishing, something
erupts from down below.
Speaker 6: Nineteen.
Speaker 2: So, Lilia, you're the only one that catches the shadowy,
misty figure of as the area erupts, as the lake
peels back and is broken like ice, and as all
of you vanish, you briefly catch a glimpse of a
Titanic creature like tremendous in scale, standing one hundred feet tall,
much longer than it is much longer than it is tall.
This thing that resembles the messi creations that you had
seen before, except again massive in scale, one of its
arms forming this actually occurring coiling lance that is itself
like thirty forty feet long, a twisting tail behind it.
It appears to have the body of almost what appears
like a centaur like figure. Its body, its main body
seems to be that of like a lion or a tiger,
twisted into like a messite version of itself, with four
massive wings spiraling off of its back that have that
same like deep sea creature look, that same ameboid look
as the messite animations you saw before, and as I mentioned,
it's more like a centaur. The section where its head
would be coils upward into this gigantic feminine figure that
has a large ring behind it. You see Lilia specifically.
I'm only going to show this to you. You see
this breaking up, this kaiju like thing cracking and breaking
its way up from out of the messite lake, but
you only see it for a moment. As you all disappear,
there's a flash sensation of weightlessness being thrown through space
tunneling radiant energy circling around you. A brief glimpse, for
just a moment, all of you see what appears to
be an infinite space, this cosmic area in the distance,
where you can see nebulous swirling, where you can see
stars glittering, destroying, as if in fast forward, entire galaxies
breaking themselves down, rebuilding themselves, and then all at once
gravity returns. There is a shift. All of you are
scattered about in the area you're in. You all feel
a pull as you're yanked off to the side. Cathos included,
who last thing you sees him reaching toward his arm
that dissolved away in what happened. Last thing you hear
is just a distant reverbing just nah from kag as
he seems to be spinning through the cosmic air around you.
As you, guys, collapse in what appears to be a
garden of flowers, sans Cathos, who does not appear to
be with you. As you stop, collect yourselves, breathing heavily
from the from the turbulence you just experienced, you guys
look up and you find yourselves to be looking up
at a soft moonlit ceiling. As you appear to have
landed in the internal flower garden at the center of
the temple of the Moon Rabbit. And given that we
had to have a short game today, we're coming just
up on two hours and you guys have just made
it back to the town. I think with you guys
having reached it again, that is where we're going to
stop today.
Speaker 7: Even the rest we took, are we good? Roll your
what short?
Speaker 2: We'll call that? Yeah, you know what, everybody, We'll call
that a short rest, real quick, short everybody. If you
want to roll hit die, do it right now?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, baby nine, ten, the all y'all.
Speaker 4: I'm just going.
Speaker 6: Six, yeah, baby, another.
Speaker 7: I don't think there's another another day, baby another.
Speaker 4: When you're already full hit points, freaking it.
Speaker 1: Just those three that's funny, all right?
Speaker 2: Is that everyone rolling their Is that? Is that everything?
Speaker 4: Yeah?

the button so none of us forget one second. One second, everybody,
everybody mark off one of the short rests on your
sheets under the resources. Just make sure that now, says one.
I'm just gonna do they Yeah, but yeah, I don't
need fair. I don't know what you gain from a
short rest. Again, bam with that. Next time we come
into you, guys trying to brace the town. As Agony's
throat has been unsealed, the amniotic mysts have escaped from it.
What existed down there, the horrors that have only barely
plagued the tunnels up until this point, are free, and
in theory, they're coming. They're on their way here. We're
gonna see what happens with the town, what occurs as
we descend into the absolute final bits of this campaign
next week.
Speaker 1: Ah oof, man, I could have given up my body
to God. It could have been cool. It could have
been chilled.
Speaker 7: I mean, it would have been a very different future, but.

into the ocean.
Speaker 7: Yeah that's sad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it was.
Speaker 2: Oh no, nothing I was. I was just gonna say
the people are assuming that Athos stayed behind fun assurance
just because I meant to impart it. He was teleporting
with them. Cathos did not stay behind. He's not that heroic.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no reason too why.
Speaker 4: Yep, it's not a hero He's such a bitch.
Speaker 2: There's also nothing in the mist, no individual thing that
you could stop to prevent it. Anyway, as soon as
the fucking lake blows up, that's it. The mists are
the problem. Not the things in the mist are dangerous.
The mist is the problem.
Speaker 7: As soon as you start breathing that, yeah, you're fucked. Yep.
